...first time since he became Governor in 1955, Arkansas' Orval Faubus went sleepless on election night. Seeking a fifth two-year term, Faubus faced five opponents in the Democratic primary. Observers thought the vote would be tight, and many had visions of a runoff election against Segregationist Congressman Dale Alford or moderate ex-Governor Sid McMath. As it turned out, Faubus could have stood in bed: he pulled in about 52% of the votes, more than the combined total won by Alford, McMath and three other also-rans. The one place where his opposition beat him was Pulaski County...
...Manhattan's Morgan Guaranty Trust Co., whose assets of $5.2 billion make it the fifth largest U.S. bank, and he did not want to leave that job. Last week the full reason for Gates's decision became clear. Morgan Guaranty promoted Gates, 56, to the presidency, replacing Dale E. Sharp, 58, who becomes a vice chairman. As the bank's chief administrative officer, Gates now appears to be the ultimate heir to 60-year-old Chairman Henry Clay Alexander...
Faubus is running in the primaries against five other Democrats, and the two who are giving him trouble are both old Faubus allies. One is moderate Sid Mc-Math, Governor from 1949 to 1953, who broke with Faubus over the Little Rock episode; the other is Congressman Dale Alford, a strong segregationist who had filed for his candidacy under the impression that Faubus would not run (Faubus' ulcer was kicking up) and is now campaigning against Faubus' long incumbency and against integration as well. Caught between the two, Faubus shrewdly decided to chuck segregation as a dead issue...
...Bernal, a Lenin Peace Prize winner. Collins received a hostile reception when he coupled criticism for the "wickedness" of U.S. nuclear tests with Moscow's "grave error" in becoming the first nation to resume tests last fall. A professor of political science from Chicago's Roosevelt University, Dale Pontius, 55, stunned the pro-Communist audience when he declared...
...Governor from 1949-53. A former Faubus ally, McMath split with the Governor by criticizing his extremist tactics in opposing school integration in Little Rock in 1957-58. Besides McMath, Faubus will have to contend with five other candidates in the July primary, including another friend turned foe: Segregationist Dale Alford, 46, who was elected to Congress in 1958 in the stormy aftermath of the Little Rock crisis. Plainly, segregation is going to be a primary issue. This is unfortunate, since 48 Negroes now attend three Little Rock high schools, and there has been no trouble since Orval stirred...
